Anyone have some tips or cues for double unders. I’ve tried penguin taps, using the cue “jump wrist wrist. I’m still struggling to learn these

Hey there,
Thanks for sharing this WOD demo of Double-Unders and Heavy Thrusters. It looks like a challenging and metabolic workout that will definitely push athletes to their limits.
The scaling options provided are great for athletes of all levels to be able to participate in this WOD. It's important to choose a weight for the thrusters that will challenge you but still allow you to perform the movement safely, especially when you're already gassed from the double-unders.
For those who are new to CrossFit or still developing their double-under technique, the beginner option with single-unders is a great place to start. It's important to remember that everyone starts somewhere, and scaling appropriately is key to making progress and avoiding injury.
Overall, this WOD demo is a great example of how CrossFit workouts can be both challenging and accessible for athletes of all levels. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing more WOD demos like this in the future.
Best regards,

It's cool to learn about the specific mechanics of this movement and how it engages multiple muscle groups throughout the body. It's impressive that the thruster is known as one of the most challenging exercises due to the intense acceleration required against gravity with added weight. great thank you !

12:36 intermediate. Lots of misses and also intentional breaks on doubles. Sets of 5 to get through thrusters. Wearing wrist wraps helped the elbows but wearing street shoes made the squats harder. Warmup was some lunges/squats, laterally banded adductor focused squats and lunges then build up with 10 dubs plus 5 double unders: 45-75-105-135. Extra set at 135 to gauge elbow pain with wrist wraps. First highly lung focused conditioning workout in weeks. Lungs and feet hurt afterward for 5-15m! Biggest set of dubs was 50-60 reps and willingly stopped so fatigue wouldn’t stop me later. It started to fall apart during the last 50 or so due to fatigue robbing my coordination.

Kinda checked the box today, especially with the thrusters.  I don't have DUs like that and numerous joints just weren't having today so I dropped the weight big time, but I stuck with DUs to get the practice.

Modified:

200 jumping jacks 
25 DB thrusters @ 2x 12,5 kg 
100 curb jumps 
25 DB thrusters @ 2x 12,5 kg

(50’s on DU, 5’s on Thrusters)

Performed with the same reps but with jumps to tap target 8" above the head and practicing hand motions or just on hips. Can do thrusters either with elbow out of commission so did 185lbs front squats. First 3 reps at 205lbs but dropped with clock running. Dropped weight in second round, lifted back onto rack.

WORKOUT THEMES
Monostructural, weightlifting. Jumping with accuracy and elasticity, pushing with skill, squatting with an upright torso, core to extremity, overhead, front rack

TECHNIQUE SCALE
5 rounds of:
2:00 jump rope practice
2:00 slow thruster practice

CONSISTENCY SCALE
As is, but for the doubles set yourself a number that has to be done in a row in order for that check mark to be reached

INTENSITY SCALE
AMRAP in 15 minutes of:
40 plate jumps (short, touch-and-go)
15 dumbbell thrusters (light)

MY STUFF
Did this more for flexibility and position, not quite checking the box. 95 on thrusters, slow and low, singles and 1 foot jump ropes x2

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 6

Globo wod: if you are doing dumbbell thrusters sub 60/40lb dumbbells. Men if the maximum weight dumbbells available are 50lbs do 20 thrusters per round. Double unders sub are either jump double taps or tuck jumps.
